"Is that so? If you're having trouble, Mr. Hawk, feel free to have a chat with my assistant. Given our past, I won't just ignore you."I understood Nicholas's sarcastic tone perfectly. I lowered my voice and added, "Even if it's a 30-year case, I'm confident I can handle it."He chuckled coldly and
Ridiculous. It was absolutely ridiculous. I had been outplayed by Nicholas, someone I once trusted deeply.In the study of Coral Villa, it was the second time Nicholas helped me reclaim the company. Back then, he asked, "Aren't you going to read through it before signing?"I shook my head. I thought
Seeing Nicholas act so nonchalantly almost made me lose my composure. It felt like an invisible force was pressing down on me. If I stayed with him for even one more minute, the facade I was desperately holding up would crumble completely.I forced myself to shake my head and said as calmly as poss
The car moved smoothly along the road, and neither Nicholas nor I had any intention of speaking. It wasn't until the car came to a stop at a red light that the cold expression on Nicholas's face softened slightly. A little girl broke free from her mother's hand and skipped across the street."Is yo
From the moment I stepped into Coral Villa, it felt as though my limbs had disconnected from my body. They had lost all feeling, and Nicholas dragged me along the entire way.Eight years ago, he had led me through this house the same way, showing me our marital home. Back then, I was more shy than a
I was terrified. The hatred in Nicholas's eyes was unmistakable. It was real. But between the two of us, who owed the other more? The emotions of sadness and regret surged within me. I realized I hadn't let go as easily as I thought. Even after three years apart, I never forgot Nicholas, not for a
Upon hearing Nicholas's words, I was stunned. Why was he saying this? Why was he doing all of this?I gazed at him, searching for answers. His dark eyes met mine. "Nothing to say?" He was waiting for my reaction. I shook my head. "No"A barely noticeable ironic smile lifted the corner of his lips.
I gritted my teeth and shook my head, trying to shake off the tears on my face. I was 30 years old. How could a woman my age still cry over being scolded? How melodramatic! I wouldn't give him another chance to scold me. "Nicholas, do as you please. I won't meddle in your affairs anymore."But as s
The next day, I returned to Radiant City, hoping to see him one last time. To my surprise, I was turned away at the entrance.A small note was handed to me by a police officer. On it were Nicholas' strong, determined words."Wait for me to atone for my sins. Wait for me to come to you."Staring at t
"All the mistakes began with me, so today, I will end them."Because of my actions, those who deserved punishment were able to evade justice for four long years. I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation, provide the necessary evidence, and take full legal responsibility for any past a
After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him."Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love""Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investi
I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to."Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went t
In the following days, my schedule was always tightly arranged by Nicholas.He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for Cory easier. However, I could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome.Rather than discussing re
It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that I finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they saw me and turned away in unison, as if by mutual agreement.I couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened.
Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long time without being able to utter a single word."My father… wasn't it because of my mother…""It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and di
Nicholas started trembling uncontrollably, anger surging through him almost instantly, consuming every fiber of his being.Although he was aware that there were still some unresolved misunderstandings between him and me, she had already said she didn't mind. He had thought it wasn't something import
The ambulance arrived swiftly, its flashing red warning lights casting Yasmine's pale face in an even starker hue.She got into the ambulance with Leo, while Nicholas and I drove together to the hospital.Nicholas sighed regretfully, "I arranged everything as quickly as I could, but I was still a bi
